Chapter 570: Psychiatric Evaluation Ruling
As for the judgment of whether Liu Lian should undergo a psychiatric evaluation, the court held a hearing to accept it. Because Liu Lian's case has a huge impact, many media workers have long been waiting in the court to get a number to enter the courtroom, because this is not a formal case trial, so only the magistrate needs to make a judgment, and the position of the adjudication court is very small, and I saw that many media workers actually paid a high price to get a position.
Instantly felt that it seemed to be more profitable to speculate in the court, and I had the impulse to sell my ticket number, but then I thought about it, Qi Qi was inside, for the sake of Qi Qi and the baby in the belly, I still couldn't help but not sell the ticket number.
In the adjudication court, I saw that the small adjudication chamber was not only full of observers, but also many people sitting on the ground, which was already the largest number of observers that the adjudication tribunal could accept, but there were still many media workers crowded at the door, wanting to enter the adjudication chamber, but the court police were blocked, after all, there were too many people, if there was a fire, the danger would also increase, the court police patiently persuaded the media workers to withdraw from the door, and many media workers heard the court police say this, and they all withdrew from the adjudication court with a disappointed face.
With the closing of the door of the adjudication court, the application for adjudication initiated by Sima Qiqi officially began as to whether Liu Lian should be subjected to a psychiatric evaluation.
The magistrate looked at Sima Qiqi and asked, "Defense lawyer, what is the reason why your client proposed a few days ago that your client needs to undergo a psychiatric evaluation before entering the formal trial process of the case?" ”
Sima Qiqi stood up and said slowly: "Your Excellency, I believe that my client suffers from split personality, and split personality is a type of mental illness, in this case, my client should legally belong to a person with non-full civil capacity, since he is a person with non-full civil capacity, according to the regulations, the sentencing of a person with non-full civil capacity should be considered lightly. ”
After Sima Qiqi finished speaking, he looked at the magistrate, and the magistrate heard Sima Qiqi's answer, flipped through the documents, looked at Sima Qiqi and said: "Defense lawyer, according to the relevant information provided by the police and the prosecution, the defendant Liu Lian behaved very normally after being arrested, and he could answer the police's questions very rationally. It is even less that the defendant needs to undergo a psychiatric evaluation before he can accept a formal trial. ”
Sima Qiqi nodded slightly and said: "Your Excellency, according to our investigation, the defendant has at least three personalities, one is violent and arrogant, one is timid and fearful, and one is wise and rational, among which the wise and rational personality is Liu Lian's main personality. Therefore, even if the information provided by the police and the prosecution shows how rational my client behaved when recording the statement, it may be that my client's personality judges the current situation and the other two personalities cannot cope with it, so the main personality appears in front of the police and the prosecutor, so that the police and the prosecutor mistakenly believe that my client is a mentally normal and extremely cold-blooded prisoner, so it is mentioned in the indictment document that my client will be punished with a heavy sentence. ”
The magistrate heard Sima Qiqi's explanation, flipped through the information in front of him, the police and the magistrate prepared Liu Lian's information very well, the magistrate looked at it for a while, looked up at Sima Qiqi and said: "But in the police and prosecution information, it is not mentioned that the defendant has different personalities in daily life and even went to see a psychiatrist." Defense lawyer, what evidence do you have to prove what you just said? ”
Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, a person has a split personality, but it will not affect his life, I just said that different personalities will appear in different situations, and the defendant's life has always been in a stable situation, so naturally no other personalities will appear, and the defendant will not think that this is a disease, because when the personality is switched, other personalities have no memory." We acknowledge that, on the basis of the relevant evidence, we have no substantial evidence to prove that my client suffers from split personality ......"
Before Sima Qiqi finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the auditorium, because Sima Qiqi never fought an uncertain battle in the eyes of these media workers, that is, every time the court was held, Sima Qiqi would have substantial evidence in hand, but this time there was no substantive evidence to apply to the court for a psychiatric evaluation of the defendant, and everyone didn't know what kind of medicine Sima Qiqi was selling in the gourd.
At this time, Sha Yu whispered: "Hey, isn't Lawyer Sima in the state today, there is no substantial evidence to apply for a psychiatric evaluation, but you tell me something, does that Liu Lian really have a split personality, this is big news, the daughter of the iron general Tong Shi actually suffers from a split personality, wow, I can already imagine what the headline will be in the next month." ”
Bumped Sha Yu's stomach with his elbow and motioned for Sha Yu not to speak, and the magistrate looked at Sima Qiqi with a frown.
Before the magistrate could reprimand, Sima Qiqi took the lead and said: "Your Excellency, although we have no substantial evidence to prove that my client has a split personality, we have a lot of circumstantial evidence that can support our views, please allow me to present the relevant evidence in court." ”
The magistrate looked at Sima Qiqi with a blank face, and the indirect evidence was presented in court, and the magistrate had a trace of doubt in his heart when he heard Sima Qiqi's request, but the social impact of Liu Lian's case was indeed huge, and even the highest level was shocked, whether Liu Lian was a cold-blooded killer or a sick person as Sima Qiqi said, which directly affected the society's confidence in the legal system.
If it is a cold-blooded murderer, then the public will not say anything to punish the society with the heaviest punishment, but if it is really like Sima Qiqi said, there is a big change in the end of the sentence, then there must be many voices in the society who accuse the legal system of taking a life in vain in order to end a high-impact case quickly.
Thinking of this, the magistrate thought that he could not afford this responsibility, if he was really sick, and he did not let Sima Qiqi present indirect evidence in court today, the society would criticize him, and the magistrate would probably be used as a scapegoat and pushed out to take the blame.
After a fierce ideological struggle, the magistrate nodded and agreed to let Sima Qiqi present relevant evidence in court, and the magistrate thought that after reading Sima Qiqi's indirect evidence, if it had little to do with Liu Lian's possible split personality, it would not be too late to reject Sima Qiqi's application for a psychiatric evaluation.
Thinking of this, the expression on the magistrate's face was much more relaxed, and Sima Qiqi began to take out the first piece of evidence, which was Liu Lian's information when he was a child, of course, these were all found by Sha Yu.
Sima Qiqi began to tell Liu Lian's experience when he was a child, his father did not give his mother a name, so Liu Lian grew up in an environment lacking father's love when he was a child, and was abducted when he was two years old, no one knows what kind of life Liu Lian lived in the eight years from the age of two to the age of ten.
Sima Qiqi made everyone, especially the magistrate, think about what happens if a child does not receive psychological counseling in time after experiencing these encounters, and the magistrate also began to think about it when he heard Sima Qiqi's description.
Sima Qiqi then told about Liu Lian's life after the age of ten, adopted by a kind-hearted person, and the kind-hearted person became Liu Lian's spiritual sustenance, but six years ago, the kind-hearted person died of illness, and the only spiritual sustenance in Liu Lian's heart collapsed.
When the magistrate heard Sima Qiqi's description, he began to ask himself this question repeatedly in his heart, and the magistrate looked at Sima Qiqi and did not speak, at this time Sima Qiqi had already taken out the third evidence, the death pictures of the three deceased, Sima Qiqi held up the death pictures of the three deceased and said slowly.
"Your Excellency, according to the information of the police, the three deceased died in different ways, but they had one thing in common, they were all tortured before death. But even the police confirmed that in the first case, the perpetrator was a perverted enjoyment, enjoying the screams made when the victim's bones were broken, while in the second case and the third case, the perpetrator was unusually calm and took a diametrically opposite way, three cases committed by the same person, but they were completely different in the method of murder, in the first case we can see that the perpetrator was extremely cruel, and the screams and blood of the deceased in the first murder case when they were tortured, a normal person would be impacted, However, the perpetrator continued to commit the crime in a very frenzied manner until the death of the deceased, and according to the forensic report, the deceased in the first murder had scars on his bones from blunt object attacks before and after death. ”
Sima Qiqi said, put the first photo on the table, held two pictures in his hand, held them high and continued: "But the second and third cases are completely different, although the two deceased were also tortured before their deaths, but according to police information, after the perpetrators did the relevant work, they left the two victims, and the victims survived for a long time." If the perpetrator of the first case is a cruel man, then the perpetrator of the second and third cases is a calm and intelligent murderer who knows how to use all kinds of knowledge to commit crimes, Your Excellency the Magistrate, do you think a person will change his style of doing things in a few years? ”
The magistrate heard the statement of the three pieces of evidence presented by Sima Qiqi in court, and indeed as Sima Qiqi said, these three pieces of evidence are all circumstantial evidence, and none of them can directly prove that the defendant Liu Lian suffers from split personality, but these three pieces of evidence have obvious hints under Sima Qiqi's statement that Liu Lian may really have a split personality, and the magistrate looked at Sima Qiqi blankly at this time and did not make a judgment immediately.
